The Queen's Meme #94 ~ The Love Match Meme

7 Royal Questions on Tuesday

This week has been wide open. In case you haven't noticed, I tend to meme-blog about those things that are concerning me at the moment. Or making me laugh. Or driving me crazy.

I can't get my mind off a conversation I had with a new guy possible love match maybe kinda sorta we'll see acquaintance this week.

He's conservative. But edgy. Liberal with his opinions. But not haphazardly. Tall. A littttttle younger (I said a "little!") and downright challenging. But in a good way. 


1. Which is more important.... romantic chemistry or friendship? Friendship comes first - once a good, solid friendship, then the relationship can slowly develop into into something more than just friendship. Time is the biggest factor after type of relationship; RUSHING is the next killer of relationships.

2. Would you date someone who is much taller or shorter than you? How about older or younger? I will not date men shorter than I; I'm only 5'4", so I prefer someone close to 6'1". More is fine for me as I have all tall men - my father is 6'4", my uncle (before he bent over with age) was 6'7". I can't help but have a height preference.


3. How soon should you bring up past relationships in a new relationship? I suppose whenever you are both ready to discuss it, then that is the time.

4. What is the one red flag you KNOW from past experience to pay attention to when getting to know a new person? If it only it was that easy. There is no such thing as a red flag or any kind of "tell" a person has that means they aren't good relationship material. Maybe they have grown to be good or the last person was what made them not good for a long-term relationship. I refuse to doom anything without giving some one a chance.

5.   When dating someone, what would you consider the ultimate deal breaker? I'm not sure. I haven't had an issue like that come up. Either it worked out or it didn't.

6.  Tell us about a date you had with someone that went all wrong. Oh, boy. I've been with my husband now for well over 21 years... I'd have to think about that. Oh, wait - I thought of one. I really, really liked a kid who was a senior in school - the same high school I'd graduated from two years prior - and he seemed interested but never made a move. So I took the reigns and asked him out. We went out a couple of times and had fun, then one night he came home with me and... well... nothing happened. I shouldn't say that. Something kind of happened. He was all hot and heavy when it came to my pantyhose but wanted nothing to do with the rest of me. I realised this on the next date and dumped him. (He did admit it before I cut him loose.) It was a fiasco. He had no interest in sex, just pantyhose. That sounds like an issue to me.


7. Imagine you have a teenage daughter. She just asked you to give your best dating and relationship advice. What will you say? The best advice I can give is to listen to what your date has to say, don't dominate the conversation, and not to ever be jealous. It is a stupid and wasteful emotion with no benefit. I had to learn it the hard way, but since learning it I've never looked back. I hope she can bypass the learning of it and just be past it already, but it seems unlikely it could be that way.

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really...

The Longairc-Green Family

This is a family that was on Nanny 911 , the precursor to Supernanny , which airs on Wednesday nights. While Supernanny is a better production and leaves out some of the dopey American-isms of stupidity (such as the opening scene with a much older nanny head whose television showing the family and their issues turns around into a painting on the wall), this show has its value. These families are clueless or don't bother to try and definitely need help. This family is an exception in that the mother couldn't care less what the monsters do and will do anything to mollify them. The father is more consistent and definitely takes a much more disciplinary stance, but the mother undermines it at every step of the way. The two boys are so unbelievably rude, I'd've killed them where they stood. The little girl only wanted a moment of attention and was not doing anything negative, and the mother was awful to her. The nanny, Nanny Stella, spent the first day observing. When she s...

Shocking!

I always open my day at work by starting up my various programs that I'll bounce back and forth between throughout the insanity that is my normal workday. And they are always in the same order: Internet Outlook Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word The timekeeping program, GenPro, is always running. This is not me being unbelievably anal or just a little OCD, this is logic. I know excatly where everything is. It's just good organisational skills. When I open Outlook it is almost entirely for the e-mail. Yes, I do know how to use all of Outlook (well, 80% of it, any way, but since I use my belovèd Franklin Covey Time Management system (the physical book, not the electronic solution), I only use Outlook for e-mail. What is so shocking, you may ask? Be patient, I'm getting to that. I open the Internet and the default page is Wikipedia, in English. I happen to love that site and skim over whatever interesting things it may have, such as: Today's Featured Article The word thou was...
